Sharp (leg) was moved to long-term injured reserve Friday.
Analysis:
The move doesn't signal a change in Sharp's recovery timetable, as he's believed to be close to resuming skating and on track for a return in early December. The Blackhawks simply wanted to open up an extra roster spot, which will be reserved for Phillip Danault, who was recalled from AHL Rockford in a corresponding move.
